5. Rock n Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith

Have you ever wondered how you will look in the face of extreme gravity? Rock ‘n Roller Coaster isn’t merely a roller coaster. It’s a morality tale about mankind’s struggle against the laws of physics. When you board this limousine and head onto the freeway, you’re feeling the blunt force trauma of sudden acceleration. Your face reflects this whiplash sensation violent velocity. And Disney has set up a camera there to capture your look as your hair floats behind your head, pushed back by a powerful force it cannot resist. A picture on Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster is the best way to see someone’s “WHOA!” face.

4. Slinky Dog Dash

Image: DisneyThe newest roller coaster at Walt Disney World also comes with the most adorable ride photo. Slinky Dog Dash presumes that guests are all toy-sized, shrunk down to appreciate the wonders of Toy Story Land. Since the coaster isn’t as fast as others on this list, it’s a calmer ride experience, meaning that you don’t look as thrilled, shocked, and/or confused as some of the other pictures listed here.

Instead, this photo op is memorable for its cuteness. On Slinky Dog Dash, your coaster cart looks like a section of the Slinky Dog. It’s divided cleanly at two people per section, and the action shot displays four people in total. The picture is fine on its own, but what elevates this photo op is the special touch. You can add a ride background that turns the imagery into a display of childish wonder. It features doodles and pictures of Disney characters. This subtle accompaniment elevates your ride photo into a conversation piece that all of your friends and family will adore.

3. Twilight Zone Tower of Terror

Everything about the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror is ghoulish. The set designs, the ride structure, and every item in the building are malevolent in nature. The most devilish trick involves the camera, though.

The moment that your elevator rises to the top of the shaft, your ride cart detaches and moves along the floor. Cameras flash, presumably taking your picture…but they’re not. That first flash is deceptive, a devious ploy meant to confuse you.

The ride photo doesn’t come until later, when you’re bouncing up and down uncontrollably. It’s that precise moment when you feel helplessly out of control that Disney freezes the frame, capturing your face in that moment of complete vulnerability. Since you’re careening in the darkness through an abandoned elevator shaft, you have no way of preparing for the photograph, at least not the first few times. In this manner, the posted photos at the end of the ride reveal who the amateurs are versus the veterans. The latter group has learned the triggers for ride photos and poses. All the noobs can do is look terrified, a fitting response at this particular tower.

Twilight Zone Tower of Terror isn’t even done with you after you leave the tower! When you check your PhotoPass collection later, you’ll discover a haunting video display of your nightmarish journey into the Twilight Zone. It’s the final way that the ride torments you before you escape its clutches.
